Arista Virtualized Cloud 10G/40G Switches Technical Datasheet

Comprehensive specification matrix, virtualized network platform breakdown, and master part number index for Arista DCS-7050X, DCS-7050QX, and vEOS Cloud Series switches.

1. Product Overview & Key Virtualization Highlights

Virtualized & Cloud Network Optimized: Designed for dense virtualized environments, multi-tenant cloud workloads, hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), and software-defined networking (SDN).
Hardware VXLAN Overlay Bridging & Routing: Wire-speed VXLAN VTEP encapsulation and decapsulation for seamless Layer 2 extensions across Layer 3 cloud boundaries.
VM-Level Telemetry & Visibility: Integrated CloudVision and Arista VMTracer providing automated VLAN/VXLAN provisioning and real-time physical-to-virtual visibility across VMware ESXi, KVM, and OpenStack environments.
Ultra-Low Latency & Flexible Speeds: Sub-microsecond latency performance with wire-speed 10G SFP+ / 10GBASE-T density and 40G QSFP+ uplinks supporting 4x10G breakout.
High Energy Efficiency: Redundant hot-swappable AC/DC power supplies with reversible Front-to-Rear and Rear-to-Front airflow configurations.
